A Florida Enchantment - 1914 - 6/10

Lillian, come into her inheritance, journeys from New York to Florida to advise Fred there is no impediment to their marriage.
Fred is part of a posh hotel, and duties include indulging wealthier females.
Which Lillian observes.
Enter the MacGuiffin. A box containing 100 year old tribal seeds – which can cause sex reversal.
Naturally, Lillian swallows a seed. Well, she was really irate.
Soon, she becomes a predatory feMALE.

She also force feeds seeds down her maid and fiancé Fred.
What follows is a cascade of sex-reversal, transgender comic innuendo.
I imagine 1914 audiences tittered at this, but now much of the humor is dated caricatures and stereotypes.
Modern audiences, often intolerant and judgmental of previously accepted norms, may scorn this.
In other words, know thyself.
